When joining an internet dating site for the first time there are a few things you need to know. There are some safety concerns you need to think about as well, there is a few ways to increase your popularity in the dating world online.

First, lets talk about some standard safety tips.Before joining an internet dating site the first thing everybody should do is create a dummy email account they use when joining these dating sites. Believe it or not but some of the sites that are out there will send you tons of emails so you don't want to have your regular or personal account filled with spam.

Lets face it, some people are just plan old weird. And if they get a hold of your personal email account they can do things to harm it. I personally have had a an attack from some crazy person who didn't want me to talk to anyone else but them, I wish that person did not know of my personally email account which is now lost.

So you want to be popular within your dating community!First things first, you need a list of dating sites to join that are in your area. Hopefully you will find a review type of site. Once you find a site like this, join the first ten sites that stand out for you and create profiles in each. If the site is asking you to pay before you know if there is even an active community....move on the the next one.

Once you have created your the free profiles, spend a little time in each one to see how active the users are, or if there are even active members in your area. Make sure you use your new email account you created too.

When joining new sites, you are going to have to active your email account so make sure you do that or else you wont get access to the site.When you are checking out the sites you have joined and you try and communicate with someone and the site asks you to upgrade to a paid account,DON'T. Not yet anyways.

Right down the persons name and move onto the next site. They could be somewhere else that you don't have to pay to talk to them.Your profile is the key to your success. Make it a good one to attract as many other members to you as you can.

To increase your popularity in the internet dating world take a few minuets and create a killer, full of detail profile about yourself.Large profiles (and be honest in them) really draw people to you. The right profile can make people connect with you before the even say hi for the first time.

A lot of people are not aware that body language is one of the ways you can use to attract women. Between flirting and body language you could get a woman very interested in you, but you have to do it the right way.

Women are sensitive so try to follow these tips.First off, make sure you maintain eye contact with the woman you are trying to talk to. By having eye contact with her you let her know you are very interested in what she is saying, not only that she will think you are listening, which you should be.

Women often say a man has nice eyes, so give her the chance to really see you looking at her and showering her with attention, she might end up saying you have nice eyes, which shows she is interested and attracted.Another form of body language is your closeness factor. How close are you standing to the woman of interest? If she is talking to you, and you are having a conversation, move a little closer but not too close.

You still want her to give her personal space, but if you can invade that just a tiny bit, you will give her a sense of what it might be like to be close to you, make sure you have a good perfume on. By doing this you will also be able to exchange scents. Women are very attracted to scents, and every little bit can help.Flash a nice smile. This can be the first thing you can do from a distance.

You don't want to overdo it but a nice friendly smile will make a huge difference. Keep smiling when you approach her and when you start talking to her. Try to keep smiling the whole time, even while talking you can smile with your eyes.Your voice also plays an important role as well. A deep voice that is warm and welcoming can turn a woman on, she could immediately be attracted to you just based on your voice.

Just make sure your voice isn't shaky, and doesn't show how nervous you might be, it is better for you to be too loud than for the woman not to be able to understand you. Women absolutely love confidence, and it shows in everything you do, even your voice.Last but not least is your posture. This isn't all about back posture either.

This doesn't mean to slouch, as that isn't attractive, but what it means is that you have to be welcoming in how you stand while talking to her. Your hands should not be crossed against your middle, or on your hips, but they should be relaxed and even moving while talking. The more comfortable you are with yourself the more she will feed into that.

This is called an open posture, the visual signs send sexual cues to a woman's brain because you are again confident.One of the most important things you can do is be confident in yourself when approaching a woman. This will make it all more natural for you, and the more natural for you, the easier it will be for a woman to be attracted to you. Work on these things and women are going to be more open to your flirting, approaching and talking to them.

Great question. When you first meet someone, you are constantly scanning and checking--consciously or subconsciously--and asking yourself,"How am I doing?"

You show up to the bar, club or whatever venue well groomed, smelling clean, with your best pitch ready to throw out to all those lucky ladies. You are spinning your best rap and feeling the moment with her when she suddenly says those kiss of death words, "I just want to be friends," or "I'm kind of seeing someone right now.

"You have now fallen into the Friends zone.Here's the deal, guys: You should never be thought of as "boring" or "too nice" or "as just a friend".

If you are, it is because you did not build VALUE into your spiel and women...great organizers that we are...immediately plop you into the friends box.How can you avoid this?

First: Come across as fun and playful.

Second: Take the lead and make sure everyone is having a good time.If she is with a girlfriend or two, make eye contact and speak with each of them. If you don't the ones who are left out will start looking around, turn their backs, start to fidget and then they will all bail on you.

Three: Play a game with her. If you are at a bar and drinking, tell her you bet she's had too much to drink and tell her you have a sobriety test to give her. Tell her if she passes the test, she can buy you a drink.

Hold your hand out with the palm facing up and say, "Go like this", then place your hand, palm down, just over the top of hers and tell her to slap your hand before you can take it away. If she is giggling and seems to be enjoying it, then reverse the process.

By being gentle and playful, you are not being threatening. since you didn't just say to her, "Let's play hand tag" you didn't give her a chance to say, "No."

You are taking simple, small steps.Now, it is a well known fact that women are attention whores. That's right. We like attention and when we don't get attention, we start competing for it. So if you are successful at this maneuver, you have paid some attention to us and we like that. But if you pay attention to us and then pull away a little bit, we wonder what happened that made us lose our grip on you.

So, if you just slightly, and I mean very slightly, pull away while we are all laughing and having fun with the hand tag game, watch as we move forward toward you, or watch us start playing with our hair, fidgeting or touching you.So then you say,"Who's next? Who wants to buy me a drink next?" And wink and laugh. When the next girl in the group says,"Me!" playfully say, "I dunno. You look pretty drunk to me. Don't know if you can tag my hand," implying the challenge. Watch how fast she grabs your hand to play!

Some people spend a small fortune looking for love; others find it right in their own neighbourhood. Why are some people searching their whole lives for the same thing that other people find right next-door?

Some of the seekers of love will never find it because their expectations are way too high, so high that it would be impossible for one person to live up to them. Whereas others accept people for who they are, these people are the successful ones when it comes to looking for love.

The people who have set impossible standards have an unrealistic view of themselves. They can't see their own faults and therefore they expect that their chosen partner will be as perfect as they think they are. Nobody is perfect, least of all the person who expects his partner to be perfect.

Finally if this type of person finds someone who they think is up to the standards that they have set they will then continually look for fault in their chosen person, this is their nature. They look for the faults in a person instead of looking for the good things.

If you are looking for love you will never find it if you think that you are smarter than everybody else. Arrogance is not a quality that attracts love, not true and lasting love, in order to find love and make it last you have to put your partner first.

People who can see the good in people and can accept their faults will always find love, a love that will survive the difficult times. They are a pleasure to be around because you never have to worry about them always looking for your flaws.

Ask yourself, is your ideal of the perfect man or woman attainable, are your standards too high, is it possible for the person, or the ideal of a person, to exist. Everybody has flaws and idiosyncrasies, accept them, don't try to change them, you will find that you will be a lot happier in the relationship.

If you follow the advice above you will be able to find that love that you have been looking for, you may even realize that the person you have been looking for lives right next door to you, or is the person at your supermarket who has always had a big smile for you when you approach the register.

When you are lucky enough to find that one person who compliments you, who you can call your other half, don't let that love die. You have to nurture love, you have to keep it interesting.

Are you looking for interesting, potentially romantic interludes? Well who isn't? People in stable loving relationships aren't looking of course but apart from those who isn't? People in a vegetative state that's who. Ok, you've got me with that one but everyone else is right? So for all these date hungry folks you have to say thank the Lord for the Internet and online dating. The happy hunting ground for mister or miss right is now global. You no longer have to get involved in all that late night hotspot embarrassment. Those places were never a fertile ground for relationships of note anyway, being the haunt of self-absorbed 'party people' or undergrads under the influence.

At first I was a skeptic, the idea of meeting someone at a distance so to speak just couldn't work, could it? Then I spoke to a mate who is into all this computer stuff, he's also on his own and he had tried it. He had found a date quickly and enjoyed meeting his date. He thought it was a great way to meet people.

My friend uses an online dating service that specializes in gay introductions he is yet to find the other gay taxidermist in the world. He has had a large number of dates that ranged from very enjoyable to very amusing to talk about the next day. The point being that you can be very specific about the kind of date you will consider.

So when you think about online dating, think of it as a kind of filtering process that you can do from your study at home without brushing your teeth until it's time to go out for that first date. It is also a very much more cost-effective way to find those romantic encounters. No more taxi fares after fruitless nights on the town. No more extortionate entrance fees and drinks for people you met only for the first time. The key to this whole new world of dating is to know your requirements in a good date. The more specific you can be the more likely are you to have a successful experience.

Try the net and just look at the many sites offering you this dating service on line. Its safe as its all under your control and you will be able to go at your own speed. You can really get to understand the person you're interested in by 'talking' to them on line. There's no pressure and if you decide to meet someone you will already have had the opportunity be familiar and comfortable with them. Give up the emotional trauma of the old fashioned ways of meeting new people, its much too hard work. Get on line and take advantage of today's technology. On line dating services the home of the right person just waiting for you.

Quick, what's the first thing a girl notices when you invite her back to your place? Is it the parade of fire ants in the kitchen? Those weird splotches of mold and lichen covering the bathroom ceiling? The dust bunnies under the bed that have evolved fangs and flippers? The answer is all three, which means you have a lot of work to do to prepare your place for tonight's hot date.Here's how to go about it.

1. Clean the bathroom. Most guys tend to think of their bathrooms in functional terms, meaning a toilet (for example) should be no more or less clean than is required to do its job. As a result, what's "clean enough" to the average guy will be "unbelievably, repulsively filthy" to his distaff counterpart. Get a brush and mop and prepare to spend a few hours undoing the damage of the last two or three months (or years, if you've had a really long cold streak).

2. Wash the dishes--not just the dishes in the sink. Run all your plates, glasses and silverware through the dishwasher at least once and stack them neatly where they belong. You don't know who's going to "accidentally" open a cabinet, who will then "accidentally" scream and run out the door when she sees that giant spider putting on a bib and preparing to feast on a tasty fly.

3. Clean the bathroom again. You thought you did a pretty good job the first time, right? All you've done is reduce the filth level from "unbelievable and repulsive" to "careless and unsanitary." Take a toothbrush and scrub the grout between the tiles in the shower, then get down on your hands and knees and scour the underside of the toilet. What's another two hours of work when so much is at stake?

4. Dust and vacuum. If you have a hardwood floor, get out a broom and dustpan and sweep thoroughly. If you have a carpet, get out a vacuum and run it over every square inch (even those hard-to-reach spots that require you to contort your body into odd positions). Finally, get a dust mop and run it over every surface in your apartment, including bookcases, tables and your cat.5. Clean your bathroom one more time. You really thought you were finished, didn't you? All you've done is reduce your bathroom amber-alert level from "careless and unsanitary" to "barely acceptable and possibly disease-free." Buy the strongest cleaning agent you can find and apply it to every square inch. (Remember to open the door for ventilation, though, lest your date arrive to find you passed out in the tub.)
